L2C 016: Book Review: The Tao of Chess - part 1

Interested in playing chess but always hear how it is difficult to learn especially if you are an adult?  There is no better time to start playing chess than today, especially with all the resources available now!!!  Let's learn this game together and prove that while we may never become a grandmaster, we can still have fun.   We can  have a great time learning the game and progress to whatever level we can get to and until someone invents a time machine, today is still the best day to start.  My personal goal is to see how high I can get my rating, while being a parent and holding two jobs, and two podcasts etc. etc. just like many of you.  My goal is currently 1,500 USCF and my stretch goal is 2,000 USCF.  Lets see where we all can get to!
